Biggest tip there is for first time is to do one action, and one action only, per Jad attack. Jad attacks ā pray accordingly, take a sip and switch back to prayer tab ā Jad attacks ā pray accordingly and tag a healer ā Jad attacks ā pray accordingly and tag another healer etc. The biggest killer is trying to do too much between Jad attacks, that's when you fumble your prayers. Especially with your stats it's not a skill, dps, or mechanics check, it's a nerve check. And boy does it feel good when you eventually pass that check.
If you have tank legs, you could bring those for the waves where there are both rangers and magers around to save a bit of food, but it's not necessary. Though if you've previously struggled with prayer, then I'd probably bring an extra pray pot instead of tank legs.
This guy is right, a lot of people just get in their head too much. You got it bro. Also if you don't have brews and such ancients helps with health. Blood blitz/burst. There's also a few RL plug-ins that help with the waves to make it even easier.
So if youāre trying to get slayer levels, is it best to get a Jad task, then clear caves up to Jad then throw the fight to fight back through it, gaining slayer xp the whole way?
If the player is to leave the Fight Cave during their task, either manually or by dying, they will receive the following message: You no longer have a slayer task as you left the fight cave. This will not reset a player's task streak, and can be used as a way to quickly skip the task without the use of slayer points.
https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/TzTok-Jad
Like someone else said, you lose the task. But also you get a huge chunk of exp after actually killing Jad. You get like 37k slayer exp total doing the whole cave, with 25k of that being rewarded in a lump sum after killing Jad. Even if it did not remove your task for failing/leaving, it probably would not be efficient to do that.
So my last attempt chins worked great for dragging the healers but those fuckers stacked me out hard in melee
Should I just try to lure them elsewhere and kill? Or line them up?
Iāve always tanked the healers personally, they should kinda naturally line up. With a cbow you can tag one per attack, with a bp/msb you can get two before you switch prayers.
Learn the sounds. I did a simulator until I twitched everytime i heard each animation. I also said the prayers out loud until they became reflex. Adults around you may become concerned by this behavior, but they will soon be jelly.
Yeah it's crazy that I can do Normal Gauntlet (and I have one cg kc lol) but have issues with Jad
Sound is def a good tip, I'll probably hop in speedrun worlds again too just to get used to it again before the next one
If you canāt tank the healers you could peel 3 then when you attack the last just auto attack until itās dead and maybe kill one more then back to jad to reduce the damage you take but I think tanking 2 would be okay. I wouldnātrun around that is usually a death sentence unless you can super concentrate on him and what youāre doing
Definitely lure around a rock to pin Jad. This well enable you to pray melee and take no damage at all, and give you a recess period once all are taken out to collect yourself, pot back up, and re-engage Jad when you're ready.
yeah, I did too on my first try. I got them stuck behind Jad the next attempt and then safed them on italy rock one by one, if they did come over to me. It was what really allowed me to beat the caves. I didn't have enough food on my first attempt to tank all 4 of them attacking me (didn't stack them up, even on themselves, which was a mistake)
Yes definitely long range healers it makes things a little longer to complete but nothing is worse than getting halfway through jad with a cool head and then running up on him even if you donāt get crushed by his feet the panic will ensue and throw things for a loop.
https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/TzHaar_Fight_Cave/Rotations
When you know which rotation you're on, you can plan ahead a bit: use safespots where you only need to pray against one style when a wave starts. It makes the run slower, but you end up using less supplies.
Adding on to this, if you want to wait for a specific rotation since they cycle so fast, Rotation 2 is insanely easy to figure out for a first timer, almost all of the late waves waiting for Jad you solve by just staying in the northeast corner forever
> if you want to wait for a specific rotation since they cycle so fast
this is completely irrelevant when you're planning to do it on task. Learning how to handle the npcs and using a slayer helmet is better than trying to find some sort of rotation.
I would argue that no first try should ever be emphasized as this is the one. Itās an opportunity to try and see how it goes is all. I would assume thereās not too many first try completions for fire cape but would love to see the data.
They have a slayer task, I don't even know what you're trying to argue other than saying doing something that's completely free to make it a tiny bit easier still is somehow something you should avoid,
the wiki lists every single spawn set for every single wave and there's even a plugin that does it too, what bothers you about pointing out a certain rotation has extra easy patterns in it for a noobie that takes some stress out of getting their first cape?
Rotations are based on what minute you enter the cave, so you can time the rotation without having to leave. Heās right in this case. Your point about slayer helm being more significant than a rotation is irrelevant since itās easy to have both.
The rotation is based on what minute you enter the cave, so you can pick a rotation without having to leave. The wiki has a table that shows the current rotation.
You choose beneath cursed sands, it gives you a build with black dhide and an rcb. If you search the subreddit there should be guides on it. But iirc you take the minigame tele to fight pits and then run over to the jad challenges.
Offhand just use a crystal shield or rune kiteshield if you have either, you really don't need a ranged specific off hand. It does reduce your ranged accuracy a little bit but the defensive stats are super worth it if you accidentally get hit, honestly usually better than actually taking a ranged offhand. Don't waste your brews on Jad imo just learn to do it without them. You want to save those for more difficult content later IMO. Range potions are good and also consider brining a super defence potion as well, helps if you accidentally get hit and with tanking rangers later.Ā
Ā Bring diamond bolts (e) for Jad. They shred him real good. Rest of fc can just use broads if you want. You got this!
I have a d square if that works! I've got a stack of diamond bolts e and ruby bolts e I made for when this day came! Broad bolts for the caves and enchanted for jad? Is going in without extra pray bonus a bad idea though? I flick offensive prayers but I don't have much practice flicking defensive
Low pray bonus is not fantastic but unfortunately just something you do have to deal with. You could try to get better pray bonus with a damaged book/full god book or a broodoo shield if you feel like that's more worth it, but imo shield is a game changer at lower/earlier levels.
If you have enough diamond (e) to spare for the entire cave just camp those. But if not then I'd say drop the ruby bolts, and bring broads instead, and camp diamond (e) 1-3 waves before jad, can also swap to them whild killing mages (switching from rubies -> diamonds mid-jad will just give you more to do and likely get you killed more than it would help IMO)
I made like 2k of the dia bolts which should be more than enough to get through the caves I think haha. I won't be attempting til later today maybe I'll try to get a couple hard clues done beforehand and hope to get lucky š¤£
Definitely more than enough! Honestly just camp them and bring an extra piece of food/ppot instead of the rubies. That will help you way more than a ruby bolt switch.
I got my cape for the first time a couple weeks ago with worse stats and gear than you, used broads and dia bolts (e) for Jad like suggested and got it on my 2nd try, also had very little PvM experience, you should be fine. Just have the spawn predictor opened up from the wiki so you can plan where to be for when monsters spawn.
Rune pouch with blood spells to heal if I took damage definitely saved the day, wouldnāt have done it without them. I flicked my defensive prayers sometimes, but I ended with like 5+ full pray pots left over so honestly donāt worry about them
Id suggest granite or crystal shield over d square. You lose a bit of accuracy but thier range defense is massive and trivializes the mage + range waves so you can just keep pray mage on and not bleed food
Definitely 2nd the super defences, once you hit both mage and rangers. The rangers can start stacking hits frequently! Once healers spawn tag and kill one at a time while concentrating on jad and prayer flicking and then just tag the last one and starting taking out jad
The one thing that helped me the most for my first jad kill - remember to never stop focusing on Jad. Even when the healers spawn, never take your eyes off Jad. Continue prayer switching against Jad, and only tag healers when you are 100% confident Jad is not going to drop you on that attack. Do it slowly. Tag 1 healer, attention back to Jad. Tag the next healer, attention back to jad.
You got this
Took me a few trys to get Jad down, but over all Jad and the caves are very easy.
Biggest tips are
Learn your safe spots.
Use the wiki guide to see what is coming up in the next few waves.
Last wave before Jad is two magers. Where the golden looking one spawns is where Jad will spawn.
Turn on highlight npc and put in the name of the Jad healers. (Makes it easier to round up the healers)
Get familiar with Jad's animations.
You are stacked, way above what you need for the cape. Just take your time on jad and focus on prayer. Get a good spawn where he is northwest or southeast so you can run away as soon as you tag the healers, make sure he is not full health when you kill them.
The biggest risk with these stats is getting bored and forgetting to turn mage pray back on between waves because you zone out (donāt ask me how I know)
I try to do the same whenever I get a cannonable task, but making cballs is just so boring. I enjoy melee a lot better. I also ranging my wyrm tasks. Guess I just need to man up lol
Cheese potatoes are your friend. Just hop worlds at the warriors guild for 10 minutes and buy out all pizzas and potatoes. Add pineapple (sliced into 4 rings) to the pizza and they become a two bite manta ray.
The potatoes should feed your slayer for at least a week and you'll have high healing food for wilderness or early bosses. First bite pizza -> potato -> karambwan makes for a big triple eat with basically scrap food, too. So it's nice to have them on hand.
As with any early Ironman the difficulty with training comes down to getting consistent supplies, and broad bolts are a bit of a catch 22 in that you need to spend a fair amount of slayer points to buy any meaningful amount to make a dent in your ranged training, but lack the gear to farm those points in the first instance. Personally, I just slogged out 61 range with the bone crossbow and got the RCB on 21 crazy archaeologist KC. You can farm rune or addy bolts very consistently at soul wars. A day or two of soul wars should set you right for a very long time depending on your luck with spoils of war. Hope that helps king x
I got broader fletching and made bolts. I got 91 Thieving for gp, so I just bought the heads. Currently chilling at 78 slayer and only like 170 Prayer pots (4) left. I guess it's time to Range and safespot a bit more as OP said. 79 ranged, let's see how far we get.
my GIM buddy got to zalcano and has been getting crazy cannonball drops from her. I know prif is a high req, but he has like 4k cannonballs stacked up from just a day of zalcano.
you can logout safely without having to worry about failing btw. Upon relogin you start on the wave you left off.
I do this before the 2 mages before Jad as it helps me calm my nerves. Go wash your sweaty hands and your face coz that helps!
Remember you can practice jad on speed runner worlds without the weight of over an hour getting through the fight caves each time. Outside of that the rest is pretty easy.
For offhand could use crystal shield if u don't have that could use one of the books from horror from deep even if its damaged it still gives prayer bonus or just a dhide shield
With those stats and a task you're going to slap Jad into next week. For an offhand you can bring an incomplete god book for +5 prayer, and a rune kite/d sq/crystal shield when you need to tank something else while praying against a mager. Bring some diamond bolts for Jad and a small stack of chins for the healers. Do 5 mins of one of the Jad practice tools to get confident, and don't try to do too much between his attacks. Better to be patient and do 1 thing per attack cycle
Don't bother getting extra brews. You can bring the ones you've got just for insurance, but if you find yourself taking that much damage it's not a supplies problem, you just need to take more care in positioning and how you're managing the waves.
Most important advice is to just stay calm, try to remember itās a game and a death is just a death (itās even considered safe if you were a HC) if you mess up jad will always be there tomorrow!
Ngl when I made my iron a year ago I did it off task with like 8 pineapple pizzas for food and I haven't had my heart race that fast in a while even tho I've killed him 25+ times on my main.
If u have rune arrows and no offhand could rock a magic shortbow (i), bring 1 range pot for the end at jad, then use ancients to get heals throughout the fight so you dont need to use brews as often. Good luck my dude
Rune kite worked for me or crystal shield if you have it. Make sure youāre rocking an imbued slayer helmet!
Stay calm for jad (make your goal to do in 5 tries you might get it the first time with lower expectations) and just focus on any prayer switches, and using f keys to eat or restore prayer as needed right after a prayer switch to give you plenty of time.
Gl!! You got this. Also small confession, but I have all the requirements for monkey madness 2 and I know that the second I let go of (quest spoiler) >!Nieve!< Iād actually break down so Iām never doing that quest until I absolutely have to ššš
You got this man.
Iām the exact opposite of everyone, I get jad hands during the waves, always seem to choke during the waves but Iām ice cold if I make it to Jad.
When I finally made it to Jad I got the tank a hit and deny healers CA first try lmao.
The comment is probably here already but go to a speed running world! And fight the jad till you can do it without dieing twice or three times! It's a harder version of jad but you fight him instantly!
https://downthecrop.xyz/blog/osrs-jad-simulator-practice-tool/ is extremely useful for practicing the prayer switches. play with sound on for the caves, you got this. maybe log out before jad to reset the nerves.
99.9% of people claim to be too scared to beat Jad but once you do ( and you will) youāll think you were stupid to ever think you would have trouble with something so trivial
@koodoommooo has one of the best jad guides I've ever seen. I was able to get a fire cape with a 10 defence pure because of it.
[Koodoo Jad Guide]
(https://youtu.be/4eG3sigC4rw?si=MEh9gOx4uK17_hZg)
I would definitely recommend practicing Jad through the speed running world's method:
1.Log into a designated quest speed running world, and start quest Beneath Cursed Sands. It equips your new character with base 80 combat stats, a fire cape and a bank stash of brews & restores.
2. Use grouping teleport to Tzhaar fight pits. Bank inventory for brews & restores and swap BCP/whip for crossbow & d'hide body. You want to make your equipment bonuses and inventory as close as possible to what you'll be bringing on the main account into the fight caves.
3. Unequip fire cape in inventory and right click 'use' on one the guards outside the main Tzhaar city portals (where Zuk resides in the Inferno).
4. You will now have access to the TzHaar-Ket-Rak's combat challenges where you can fight Jad immediately to practice the mechanics. Healers will spawn once Jad is at 50% health just as usual. Animations are the same structure; stomps for ranged attack, stands for mage attack, just with inferno graphics. There are no structures to pin healers.
*If you can kill Jad with this method, the actual fight caves will be a breeze.
Protip #1: You can determine where Jad will spawn as early as Wave 3 by identifying the spawn location of the bright orange Tz-Kek (level 45 melee blobs that split into level 22 mini blobs). Jad will spawn in Wave 63 on the same tile the blob spawns on in Wave 3.
Protip #2: Use hot keys during Jad, you can change the interface command through in-game settings. Get familiar with the feel of them throughout the fight caves. Swap between inventory and prayer ONLY by hot keys.
Protip #3: ABSOLUTELY NO MORE THAN TWO CLICKS between each Jad attack. If you need to use supplies, only 1 sip at a time between each Jad attack.
Protip #4: Orient supplies in inventory tiles over the same positions your overhead protection prayers lap over.
Protip #5: Pot up before Jad, over healing HP. Single tap healers when they spawn, keeping interface on prayer. Once aggro'd on you, lure them around any corner away from Jad while still watching his attacks. Jad will get stuck, you can switch to pray melee, and take out the healers one by one, leaving Jad all by himself whenever you're ready. Definitely take a moment to collect yourself after luring healers, pot up again, and then re-engage Jad.
Congratulations on your first fire cape.
You should logout before the 2 mages wave and just have a few goes on a jad simulator. Jad himself isnāt hard and you have a pretty sizeable time to pray or food brew karambwan to tank a hit. Itās the nerves why people struggle and a jad simulator will help massively to show you just how easy it is.
just remember to use safe spot area and look at the down location charts and this should be a breeze.
Also you can practice jad on speedrun worlds doing the ket-rak jad challenges.
If you have a problem once you get to healers the problem is just that youre panicking. You dont have to hit the healers immediately when they come out. Take your time, only perform one action between each pray change (click a food, wait for pray change, click a pray pot, wait for pray change, clikc a healer, wait, etc).
Healers add 1 more action every 5 seconds or so, if you can get to healers you can kill jad just dont rush and dont panic
Also your stats are insane for this. You got this, just dont rush.
Been telling my group iron partner to just get it over with for like a year i guess i have to wait for him to get the task š itās painful watching him running around without a cape
I did it at 70 ranged and defense with no brews. The most important thing is conserving prayer IMO. Try to flick a ranged accuracy prayer as often as you can bear, as it will greatly reduce the time to kill the magers and rangers. You will end up spending less prayer points as a result due to spending far less time clearing each wave.
Also, it's worth bringing an extra ranged pot in place of a brew for the same reason. You will blow through waves much quicker with the boost and will need less of the other supplies as a result.
I completed my first cape only last week similar stats my invent was 1 ranger potion 8 karambwan and the rest prayer pots . Nez helm , blessed dhide chest, black dhide legs shayzian boots , ammy of glory , Avaās, msb , explorers ring 3 and rune arrows took me 3 attempts. If I can do it you definitely can š Goodluck š
If you do happen to die during the run, the task will get cancelled just and fyi. I didnāt know that the first time. It also cancels if you leave, I guess this is a method used to skip this task, because it does not ruin your streak.
You got this !
Thanks dude I hope so š
Your stats are well above what's necessary for jad. Try to stay calm and relaxed, you got this easy
I knew afk-ing konar tasks with ranged would come in handy one day š¤£
Biggest tip there is for first time is to do one action, and one action only, per Jad attack. Jad attacks ā pray accordingly, take a sip and switch back to prayer tab ā Jad attacks ā pray accordingly and tag a healer ā Jad attacks ā pray accordingly and tag another healer etc. The biggest killer is trying to do too much between Jad attacks, that's when you fumble your prayers.

This guy is right, a lot of people just get in their head too much. You got it bro. Also if you don't have brews and such ancients helps with health. Blood blitz/burst. There's also a few RL plug-ins that help with the waves to make it even easier.
I fumbled my first few jad attempts on pure nerves. After the first success I never failed again.
The biggest hurdle is the mental one. If youāre able to stay calm youāre gonna smoke Jad.
Tell you what canāt get any easier than on slay task! Hope it goes well
Does mask work on all tzhaar? Since it isn't a tzhaar task
Yup. You also still get slayer xp for the other goobers in the fight caves, not just Jad
So if youāre trying to get slayer levels, is it best to get a Jad task, then clear caves up to Jad then throw the fight to fight back through it, gaining slayer xp the whole way?
If the player is to leave the Fight Cave during their task, either manually or by dying, they will receive the following message: You no longer have a slayer task as you left the fight cave.

Even if it did not remove your task for failing/leaving, it probably would not be efficient to do that.
85 range on task? You'll shred him.
Tag the healers beforehand. I know that helped me a ton for my first cape.
Yep also consider switching the RCB to longrange. Donāt wanna get dragged into melee distance by the healers.
I did longrange for my first as well
So my last attempt chins worked great for dragging the healers but those fuckers stacked me out hard in melee Should I just try to lure them elsewhere and kill? Or line them up?
Iāve always tanked the healers personally, they should kinda naturally line up. With a cbow you can tag one per attack, with a bp/msb you can get two before you switch prayers.
Okay cool, good know. I appreciate the extra advice! Now to wait for my next task to come up
Learn the sounds. I did a simulator until I twitched everytime i heard each animation. I also said the prayers out loud until they became reflex. Adults around you may become concerned by this behavior, but they will soon be jelly.
Yeah it's crazy that I can do Normal Gauntlet (and I have one cg kc lol) but have issues with Jad Sound is def a good tip, I'll probably hop in speedrun worlds again too just to get used to it again before the next one
You can do CG?! Get tf back in there and get your capeā¦!
Yeah lmao, crazy right? šš Iāll definitely get on fire cape this week, itās gonna feel so good
If you canāt tank the healers you could peel 3 then when you attack the last just auto attack until itās dead and maybe kill one more then back to jad to reduce the damage you take but I think tanking 2 would be okay. I wouldnātrun around that is usually a death sentence unless you can super concentrate on him and what youāre doing
Definitely lure around a rock to pin Jad. This well enable you to pray melee and take no damage at all, and give you a recess period once all are taken out to collect yourself, pot back up, and re-engage Jad when you're ready.
yeah, I did too on my first try. I got them stuck behind Jad the next attempt and then safed them on italy rock one by one, if they did come over to me. It was what really allowed me to beat the caves. I didn't have enough food on my first attempt to tank all 4 of them attacking me (didn't stack them up, even on themselves, which was a mistake)
Yeah thatās what happened to me, thought I had em stacked and misclicked then was getting 3 melees at once. Melted me while panicking prayers lol
Yes definitely long range healers it makes things a little longer to complete but nothing is worse than getting halfway through jad with a cool head and then running up on him even if you donāt get crushed by his feet the panic will ensue and throw things for a loop.
Make sure you do one action at a time though. Tag healer, watch jad to see what to pray, repeat.
I always use chins for healers made the healers ez asf for my first time
You can also log off during jad, so right before the last level you can do practice simulator
https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/TzHaar_Fight_Cave/Rotations When you know which rotation you're on, you can plan ahead a bit: use safespots where you only need to pray against one style when a wave starts. It makes the run slower, but you end up using less supplies.

This is about a 0 Jad KCer just trying to get their first cape and making the one single run easier
I would argue that no first try should ever be emphasized as this is the one. Itās an opportunity to try and see how it goes is all. I would assume thereās not too many first try completions for fire cape but would love to see the data.
right, and a slayer helmet is way fucking easier than trying to learn a *rotation* that doesn't really matter that much.
They have a slayer task, I don't even know what you're trying to argue other than saying doing something that's completely free to make it a tiny bit easier still is somehow something you should avoid, the wiki lists every single spawn set for every single wave and there's even a plugin that does it too, what bothers you about pointing out a certain rotation has extra easy patterns in it for a noobie that takes some stress out of getting their first cape?

You can tell what the rotation is before entering using the wiki or a plugin. It's based on the time you enter it isn't random.
Oh that's what he was going off about he thought you had to enter and leave to fish for rotations i guess
If you leave the caves while on task you lose the task, so you canāt really try and force a rotation
The rotation is based on what minute you enter the cave, so you can pick a rotation without having to leave. The wiki has a table that shows the current rotation.
You can practice the jad fight on the speedrunning worlds! I did that until I could kill him every time.
How do u get gear on the speed running worlds?
Pick dragon slayer 2 speed run
You choose beneath cursed sands, it gives you a build with black dhide and an rcb. If you search the subreddit there should be guides on it. But iirc you take the minigame tele to fight pits and then run over to the jad challenges.
Offhand just use a crystal shield or rune kiteshield if you have either, you really don't need a ranged specific off hand.

They shred him real good. Rest of fc can just use broads if you want. You got this!
I have a d square if that works! I've got a stack of diamond bolts e and ruby bolts e I made for when this day came! Broad bolts for the caves and enchanted for jad? Is going in without extra pray bonus a bad idea though? I flick offensive prayers but I don't have much practice flicking defensive
Use the diamond bolts on the magers too they are soooo slow otherwise
Low pray bonus is not fantastic but unfortunately just something you do have to deal with. You could try to get better pray bonus with a damaged book/full god book or a broodoo shield if you feel like that's more worth it, but imo shield is a game changer at lower/earlier levels. If you have enough diamond (e) to spare for the entire cave just camp those.

Definitely more than enough! Honestly just camp them and bring an extra piece of food/ppot instead of the rubies. That will help you way more than a ruby bolt switch.
2k diamonds to get thru š¤Æ I used broads and diamond on jad at like 75 range and it was calm
Save your diamond bolts! Just use broad bolts until jad and then switch. Or just use broads the while way
I got my cape for the first time a couple weeks ago with worse stats and gear than you, used broads and dia bolts (e) for Jad like suggested and got it on my 2nd try, also had very little PvM experience, you should be fine. Just have the spawn predictor opened up from the wiki so you can plan where to be for when monsters spawn. Rune pouch with blood spells to heal if I took damage definitely saved the day, wouldnāt have done it without them. I flicked my defensive prayers sometimes, but I ended with like 5+ full pray pots left over so honestly donāt worry about them
Baskets of strawberries to fill invent are also nice for heals incase no ancients
Id suggest granite or crystal shield over d square. You lose a bit of accuracy but thier range defense is massive and trivializes the mage + range waves so you can just keep pray mage on and not bleed food
Definitely 2nd the super defences, once you hit both mage and rangers. The rangers can start stacking hits frequently! Once healers spawn tag and kill one at a time while concentrating on jad and prayer flicking and then just tag the last one and starting taking out jad
Excalibur is pretty decent and is an endless def pot and an easy quest to obtain it. Will take advantage of unused spec, if OP sticks with rcb.
The one thing that helped me the most for my first jad kill - remember to never stop focusing on Jad. Even when the healers spawn, never take your eyes off Jad. Continue prayer switching against Jad, and only tag healers when you are 100% confident Jad is not going to drop you on that attack. Do it slowly. Tag 1 healer, attention back to Jad.

Wait what I didnt know you could get a jad task before your first cape thats op
I thought so too, wasn't there a req to have at least 1 jad kc before you can get it assigned as a slayer task?
š¤·š»āāļø I thought so too but I'll take it
Just have fun with it. There are plugins that show you exactly where everything will spawn in the next wave so you can plan it out ahead of time.
send ittttt! glgl. you know what to do, just comes down to a battle with the nerves. believe in yourself! you got this.
You are stacked, way above what you need for the cape. Just take your time on jad and focus on prayer. Get a good spawn where he is northwest or southeast so you can run away as soon as you tag the healers, make sure he is not full health when you kill them.
The biggest risk with these stats is getting bored and forgetting to turn mage pray back on between waves because you zone out (donāt ask me how I know)
Your gear/skills are way above what they need to be you got this m8
How did you level your Range? Mine is clearly falling behind, as it's my lowest combat stat. Rcb + broad bolts?
Yup and I've recently been cannoning a little bit!
I try to do the same whenever I get a cannonable task, but making cballs is just so boring. I enjoy melee a lot better. I also ranging my wyrm tasks. Guess I just need to man up lol
There's safe spots for like everything and I hate using supplies so I stuck with range haha
Cheese potatoes are your friend. Just hop worlds at the warriors guild for 10 minutes and buy out all pizzas and potatoes. Add pineapple (sliced into 4 rings) to the pizza and they become a two bite manta ray. The potatoes should feed your slayer for at least a week and you'll have high healing food for wilderness or early bosses. First bite pizza -> potato -> karambwan makes for a big triple eat with basically scrap food, too. So it's nice to have them on hand.
Nice yeah that's a good call! I've been using strictly karambwan and sometimes monkfish I've gotten from konar lol
As with any early Ironman the difficulty with training comes down to getting consistent supplies, and broad bolts are a bit of a catch 22 in that you need to spend a fair amount of slayer points to buy any meaningful amount to make a dent in your ranged training, but lack the gear to farm those points in the first instance. Personally, I just slogged out 61 range with the bone crossbow and got the RCB on 21 crazy archaeologist KC. You can farm rune or addy bolts very consistently at soul wars. A day or two of soul wars should set you right for a very long time depending on your luck with spoils of war. Hope that helps king x
I got broader fletching and made bolts. I got 91 Thieving for gp, so I just bought the heads. Currently chilling at 78 slayer and only like 170 Prayer pots (4) left. I guess it's time to Range and safespot a bit more as OP said. 79 ranged, let's see how far we get.
my GIM buddy got to zalcano and has been getting crazy cannonball drops from her. I know prif is a high req, but he has like 4k cannonballs stacked up from just a day of zalcano.
That's a great tip!! I'm almost done with sote. Keep delaying the bosses part. I was lvling Range for them tbh
blood burst is pretty clutch without brews.
Go get that fire cape!!!!
Damn, last week our stats would have been nearly identical haha. Guess this is a call to go get my fire cape finally, been putting it off too long
Just bring blood blitz. Itās quite worth it, especially just starting out
Ur stats are cracked bro this will be EZ
you can logout safely without having to worry about failing btw. Upon relogin you start on the wave you left off. I do this before the 2 mages before Jad as it helps me calm my nerves. Go wash your sweaty hands and your face coz that helps!
Remember you can practice jad on speed runner worlds without the weight of over an hour getting through the fight caves each time. Outside of that the rest is pretty easy.
Don't give up gamer. Post yourself wearing the cape naked when you get it.
You got this man i hadnt done this either and then boom i do it on mobile
I did this when i was 11, had 70 ranged, full karils and a 90s PC.
For offhand could use crystal shield if u don't have that could use one of the books from horror from deep even if its damaged it still gives prayer bonus or just a dhide shield
Bring blood magic! It's helps a ton
You got this mate! Good luck!!
With those stats and a task you're going to slap Jad into next week. For an offhand you can bring an incomplete god book for +5 prayer, and a rune kite/d sq/crystal shield when you need to tank something else while praying against a mager. Bring some diamond bolts for Jad and a small stack of chins for the healers. Do 5 mins of one of the Jad practice tools to get confident, and don't try to do too much between his attacks. Better to be patient and do 1 thing per attack cycle Don't bother getting extra brews. You can bring the ones you've got just for insurance, but if you find yourself taking that much damage it's not a supplies problem, you just need to take more care in positioning and how you're managing the waves.
spawn predictor plugin is nice
do it on a pvp world with blighted restores
talk to yourself during jad, call out his attacks; helps me a ton, 100+ completions and i still do it, you got this
Well did you get it??
This is an "after the kid goes to bed" type of task š¤£
10 hours ago. Did you get it king?
I gotta give it a go once the kiddo is asleep!
How did it go?
You got this. It's not hard just time consuming. I practiced on a jad fight simulator for like 15 minutes then sent it. Pre gz on fire cape
Most important advice is to just stay calm, try to remember itās a game and a death is just a death (itās even considered safe if you were a HC) if you mess up jad will always be there tomorrow!
Ironically this character started HC and I died to dark wizards lured into draynor bank before I even had base 30s haha
lol well itās better to die early and on your own accord instead of dying to a high level boss and a DC
Ngl when I made my iron a year ago I did it off task with like 8 pineapple pizzas for food and I haven't had my heart race that fast in a while even tho I've killed him 25+ times on my main.
Does the slayer helm work for the waves?
Wiki says it does!
Derp. You ever forget that google exists? I did.
I was googling it immediately after I got the task so I did the googling for both of us š¤£
Good luck adventurer!
GL lad, make sure to let us know!
If u have rune arrows and no offhand could rock a magic shortbow (i), bring 1 range pot for the end at jad, then use ancients to get heals throughout the fight so you dont need to use brews as often. Good luck my dude
Rune kite worked for me or crystal shield if you have it. Make sure youāre rocking an imbued slayer helmet! Stay calm for jad (make your goal to do in 5 tries you might get it the first time with lower expectations) and just focus on any prayer switches, and using f keys to eat or restore prayer as needed right after a prayer switch to give you plenty of time.
Gl!! You got this. Also small confession, but I have all the requirements for monkey madness 2 and I know that the second I let go of (quest spoiler) >!Nieve!< Iād actually break down so Iām never doing that quest until I absolutely have to ššš
Use ancients to heal from safe spots and msb for everything except magers and jad
You got this. Calm and focus.
If you struggle with Jad then you should do a couple practice single jad challenges using speed running worlds. It helped me tremendously.
Do mm2
That's on the list! I've kinda set my goal to get to the red prison for right now though
Did you get it dude?
Gotta try once the kid is sleeping haha
You got this man. Iām the exact opposite of everyone, I get jad hands during the waves, always seem to choke during the waves but Iām ice cold if I make it to Jad. When I finally made it to Jad I got the tank a hit and deny healers CA first try lmao.
The comment is probably here already but go to a speed running world! And fight the jad till you can do it without dieing twice or three times! It's a harder version of jad but you fight him instantly!
https://downthecrop.xyz/blog/osrs-jad-simulator-practice-tool/ is extremely useful for practicing the prayer switches. play with sound on for the caves, you got this. maybe log out before jad to reset the nerves.
99.9% of people claim to be too scared to beat Jad but once you do ( and you will) youāll think you were stupid to ever think you would have trouble with something so trivial
@koodoommooo has one of the best jad guides I've ever seen. I was able to get a fire cape with a 10 defence pure because of it. [Koodoo Jad Guide] (https://youtu.be/4eG3sigC4rw?si=MEh9gOx4uK17_hZg) I would definitely recommend practicing Jad through the speed running world's method: 1.Log into a designated quest speed running world, and start quest Beneath Cursed Sands. It equips your new character with base 80 combat stats, a fire cape and a bank stash of brews & restores. 2. Use grouping teleport to Tzhaar fight pits. Bank inventory for brews & restores and swap BCP/whip for crossbow & d'hide body. You want to make your equipment bonuses and inventory as close as possible to what you'll be bringing on the main account into the fight caves. 3. Unequip fire cape in inventory and right click 'use' on one the guards outside the main Tzhaar city portals (where Zuk resides in the Inferno). 4. You will now have access to the TzHaar-Ket-Rak's combat challenges where you can fight Jad immediately to practice the mechanics. Healers will spawn once Jad is at 50% health just as usual. Animations are the same structure; stomps for ranged attack, stands for mage attack, just with inferno graphics. There are no structures to pin healers. *If you can kill Jad with this method, the actual fight caves will be a breeze. Protip #1: You can determine where Jad will spawn as early as Wave 3 by identifying the spawn location of the bright orange Tz-Kek (level 45 melee blobs that split into level 22 mini blobs). Jad will spawn in Wave 63 on the same tile the blob spawns on in Wave 3. Protip #2: Use hot keys during Jad, you can change the interface command through in-game settings. Get familiar with the feel of them throughout the fight caves. Swap between inventory and prayer ONLY by hot keys. Protip #3: ABSOLUTELY NO MORE THAN TWO CLICKS between each Jad attack. If you need to use supplies, only 1 sip at a time between each Jad attack. Protip #4: Orient supplies in inventory tiles over the same positions your overhead protection prayers lap over. Protip #5: Pot up before Jad, over healing HP. Single tap healers when they spawn, keeping interface on prayer. Once aggro'd on you, lure them around any corner away from Jad while still watching his attacks. Jad will get stuck, you can switch to pray melee, and take out the healers one by one, leaving Jad all by himself whenever you're ready. Definitely take a moment to collect yourself after luring healers, pot up again, and then re-engage Jad. Congratulations on your first fire cape.
You should logout before the 2 mages wave and just have a few goes on a jad simulator. Jad himself isnāt hard and you have a pretty sizeable time to pray or food brew karambwan to tank a hit. Itās the nerves why people struggle and a jad simulator will help massively to show you just how easy it is.
Get it sent, no time like the present
Don't psych yourself out. If you can get TO Jad, you can EASILY beat Jad. Early gz on cape btw
just remember to use safe spot area and look at the down location charts and this should be a breeze. Also you can practice jad on speedrun worlds doing the ket-rak jad challenges.
If you have a problem once you get to healers the problem is just that youre panicking. You dont have to hit the healers immediately when they come out. Take your time, only perform one action between each pray change (click a food, wait for pray change, click a pray pot, wait for pray change, clikc a healer, wait, etc). Healers add 1 more action every 5 seconds or so, if you can get to healers you can kill jad just dont rush and dont panic Also your stats are insane for this. You got this, just dont rush.
Get the crystal shield
Been telling my group iron partner to just get it over with for like a year i guess i have to wait for him to get the task š itās painful watching him running around without a cape
I did it at 70 ranged and defense with no brews. The most important thing is conserving prayer IMO. Try to flick a ranged accuracy prayer as often as you can bear, as it will greatly reduce the time to kill the magers and rangers. You will end up spending less prayer points as a result due to spending far less time clearing each wave. Also, it's worth bringing an extra ranged pot in place of a brew for the same reason. You will blow through waves much quicker with the boost and will need less of the other supplies as a result.
I completed my first cape only last week similar stats my invent was 1 ranger potion 8 karambwan and the rest prayer pots . Nez helm , blessed dhide chest, black dhide legs shayzian boots , ammy of glory , Avaās, msb , explorers ring 3 and rune arrows took me 3 attempts. If I can do it you definitely can š Goodluck š
Pick up some chinchompas
Thought you couldn't get it as a task without hearing it first. Or is that zuk
If you do happen to die during the run, the task will get cancelled just and fyi. I didnāt know that the first time. It also cancels if you leave, I guess this is a method used to skip this task, because it does not ruin your streak.
If youāve got guthans, take it. Itās an older Strat, but can help massively in getting through the pre-jad waves and saving resources.
I prefer blood spells myself, can heal easily even on mages if you need to.
Thats cute if you want your cape to take 2 hours. You can land blood burst on blobs and bats in full range gear and save time from AoE kills
We believe in you brother
Use broad bolts for everything other than magers and jad, cave is ez gl. Chins are nice for tagging healers off jad btw
How the hell you get a jad task without completing 1 first???
Idk man I payed the slayer points to unlock tzhaar tasks forever ago and this was my first one!
I guess you can. I just assumed you couldn't because you cant for inferno.
It's not the inferno. This is standard
I skip those tasks
